The Declaration of Independence

Just in case you didn't actually read this in school... at least remember this part when you go vote...

Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and ... mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations...evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
